My friend and I have made a short film, set in WWII, and it’s nearing completion. We need the score to be orchestrated. We’ve already recorded the melodies on a version of Cubase (SX3, I think it was) but the guy who was going to take those and expand them into full orchestral scores has piked on us, so we need to find an alternative person to help.
Where is the best place to look for someone like that, who will do it for us for free? Does anyone know of any website forums that have a selection of up-and-coming film composer wannabes I can post to? I need someone who has their own copy of Cubase, and a good Orchestra sample collection (like Garritan or EWQL), and enough experience to do decent, hopefully realistic, symphonic music.
If it comes down to it, we might end up doing it all ourselves, if we can afford to get the software and music samples. But as our musical talent is somewhat minimal, it’s definitely a last resort.
